After receiving the call from Gu Chen, Professor Zhang and Liao Feng rushed to Furong Branch.
Upon entering the Criminal Investigation Group Three, Liao Feng first spotted Gu Chen. He quickly supported Professor Zhang and said, "Look, he is the policeman yesterday."
"Comrade Police." Professor Zhang was stagnant on the spot. After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly walked up to Gu Chen.
"Are you here?" Gu Chen said.
Professor Zhang grabbed Gu Chen's hand and said in disbelief: "You said my nephew has confessed? Has he really confessed?"
"Is this fake?" Gu Chen also pushed Professor Zhang's hands away, then walked back to his desk and took out a transcript from the drawer.
"This is Zhang Hao's statement last night. He detailed how he planned the attack on Gaocheng. There is also his autograph and fingerprint below."
Professor Zhang had no intention of listening to Gu Chen's explanation at this moment. He directly took the transcript document in his hand and started reading it over and over again.
One minute later.
Professor Zhang felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"Professor Zhang, Professor Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Liao Feng was also frightened, and she quickly held him up.
Gu Chen instantly pulled out his chair and said, "Let him sit here."
Several people carefully asked Professor Zhang to sit down, and then Gu Chen went to the water dispenser and poured him a glass of water each.
"It's impossible." Professor Zhang said doubtfully: "How could my nephew do such a thing? He has always been responsible, right?"
"Is it also a duty to fight?" Lu Weiwei, who had been shameless of Zhang Hao's behavior, immediately walked over from the printer and said, "Why did Zhang Hao leave your scientific research core closed loop? Don't you, Professor Zhang, know?"
"This..." Seeing that the police seemed to know that they had excluded Zhang Hao from the core closed loop of scientific research, Professor Zhang, who was a little excited before, immediately calmed down.
"Professor Zhang." Gu Chen walked directly in front of him, changed his position and said, "Zhang Hao and Gao Cheng have been at odds for a long time. Doesn't the person in charge of your seat project know about this?"
"I know, of course I know." Professor Zhang did not deny it. He glanced at Liao Feng beside him and said, "Go out first and wait for me downstairs."
"Okay Professor Zhang." Liao Feng nodded and left consciously.
Professor Zhang then retorted: "I don't think these two people can cooperate. In order to ensure that the team produces results, I can only keep one person out of the two."
"And Zhang Hao is my nephew. Using him will inevitably give people a bad rap. Our Nanshan Laboratory does not advocate nepotism."
"Besides, Gao Cheng is very good and very united with his colleagues. He also has the support of most of his colleagues. He is more suitable than Zhang Hao in the team."
Gu Chen shook his head and continued to ask him: "Professor Zhang, do you really trust Gao Cheng that much? The materials I showed you just now were all stated by Zhang Hao himself, don't you have nothing to say?"
"Comrade police, you mean... the issue of Gao Cheng's loyalty?" Professor Zhang seemed to have guessed what Gu Chen meant.
Gu Chen nodded: "It's good that you know."
"Haha." Professor Zhang snorted coldly, shook his head helplessly and said: "Of course I know what Gao Cheng is like. I paid attention to him when he moved from other laboratories."
"When it comes to loyalty, it is true that the Nanshan Laboratory is just a stepping stone for his growth. He will not stay long because there are very few people in the world working on projects like Project H."
"So whoever masters the core data will have the upper hand."
"But all this seems to be unimportant to Gao Cheng. What he wants is personal growth."
"If he gets the core data from me, he will most likely use this as a springboard to jump to the next laboratory."
"You know, he is the core staff of our Nanshan Laboratory who was hired with a lot of money. His salary and subsidies alone are far more than those of the person in charge of some small projects."
"He is a great person, but we are not stupid either. The top management of the laboratory has warned us a long time ago that we are just using each other."
"Mutual use?" Lu Weiwei also didn't expect that Professor Zhang already knew what kind of person Gao Cheng was.
But even though he knew it, he still reused it.
It's just because the team needs it.
In the H project, there are only these available manpower, and major scientific research laboratories are also making every effort to recruit talents.
Mutual exploitation happens from time to time.
"So you knew it a long time ago." Gu Chen also shook his head and said calmly: "But you didn't consider Zhang Hao's feelings, which caused his psychological imbalance. I think the reason why Zhang Hao has such extreme revenge behavior today is that you
As an uncle, I can’t escape my involvement.”
"Yes, it's my fault." Professor Zhang didn't want to defend anything, but he was just a little sad.
He weakly asked Gu Chen: "How is Zhang Hao now?"
"Fortunately, it's not as fragile as I thought." Gu Chen said.
Professor Zhang shook his head and said helplessly: "This kid just can't keep calm. He knows that I have no choice but to do this, but he is stubborn."
"They even used dry ice and alcohol to make such a big noise."
Looking at the transcript in his hand, Professor Zhang wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "This guy is smart, but he has no use for the right path."
"It was my mistake to take him out of the team. I admit it, but Zhang Hao took revenge on Gao Cheng and caused Gao Cheng to fall into coma. I am also responsible for this."
"So, I just want to see Gao Cheng and talk to him, okay?"
"I don't ask him to forgive me, but I ask that we, uncle and nephew, can communicate well and sit down and talk slowly if we have anything to say."
"Okay, I'll let someone arrange it." Gu Chen agreed very easily and readily.
This is what Gu Chen meant when he notified Professor Zhang to come to the police station early this morning.
After arranging for a trainee police officer to take Professor Zhang away, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his office chair.
The case of the attack on Gaocheng has basically entered the final stage.
Zhang Hao confessed to his criminal process.
However, Zhang Hao didn't really want to kill Gao Cheng, he just wanted to give Gao Cheng some good looks.
It can be seen from Zhang Hao's frequent visits to the laboratory to collect alcohol and dry ice that Zhang Hao has actually experimented many times in a secret location.
Perhaps considering that the explosive power of the glass bottle was uncontrollable, Zhang Hao obtained an average value in the experiment and then dared to implement his criminal plan.
But this time, the pressure in the glass bottle was so huge that Gao Cheng suffered multiple injuries all over his body and even almost lost his life in the laboratory.
This led to a catastrophe.,
However, it is certain that Zhang Hao intentionally hurt others. No matter how many excuses he makes, he cannot escape the actual execution.
What awaits him will be legal punishment.
…
…
Two days later.
Furong Branch, Criminal Investigation Group Three Office.
There have been a lot of lively things in the office recently. While everyone was busy with their own affairs, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong walked directly to Gu Chen when they passed by the third group of offices.
He took out two stools and sat down.
Gu Chen, who was working, glanced sideways at the two of them, and immediately turned back and asked: "You two have been in a bad mood recently, and you are not in a good state."
"Is it okay? I've been working overtime every night recently." Ding Liang laughed and said listlessly: "You don't know, we have been receiving a lot of police calls on West Street recently."
"What happened to West Street?" Lu Weiwei, who was sitting in the front row of Gu Chen, also asked.
Huang Zunlong squinted his eyes and smiled, and couldn't help but say: "It's strange to say that at night on West Street, there is always a group of will-o'-the-wisp teenagers who drive their motorcycles to the maximum noise level."
"Most of the residents living there couldn't stand the disturbance from these will-o'-the-wisp boys, so they called the police to complain."
"Have you caught these will-o'-the-wisp boys?" Gu Chen also asked.
Ding Liang shook his head: "How can it be so easy? These will-o'-the-wisp boys all wear helmets, and the vehicles they drive are specially modified and run very fast."
"Especially in the nearby streets and alleys, once these will-o'-the-wisp boys get inside, they will fly like fish in the river and birds in the sky."
"It's really not that easy to find these guys, because they are very familiar with the terrain, and we don't have enough manpower. It's not easy to catch these guys."
"Wait a minute." Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked slowly: "By the way... is it because you two came to our third group to complain today?"
Suddenly guessing the thoughts of Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "You two are here to borrow troops, right?"
"Haha." Ding Liang laughed twice awkwardly, and then said: "After all, we are roommates. It seems that this little trick can't be hidden from you Gu Chen. Yes, we are here to borrow some help."
"Then why are there three groups?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think the first group and the second group are just decorations?"
"I'm familiar with you, aren't I?" Huang Zunlong pointed out the key points in one sentence and said: "The first group and the second group don't have much contact with each other. When asking them to help, they are all pushing each other."
"Yes." Ding Liang also said quickly: "You obviously don't have much to do, but you insist that you are very busy. I said no matter how busy you are, how can Gu Chen from the third group be busy? In the end, these people gave me up
It exploded."
"Hahaha." When Lu Weiwei heard this, she couldn't help laughing like a pig: "I asked you why you two were so dejected. Not only were you unable to catch these will-o'-the-wisp boys, but you were also eaten between the first group and the second group.
The door is closed."
"Senior Sister Lu, please stop laughing at us. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda," Ding Liang said.
Lu Weiwei immediately waved her hand: "No, no, no, please don't rise to any rescue height."
"Senior Sister Lu." Huang Zunlong still wants to fight for it again.
But Lu Weiwei also saw Officer Wang just coming in, so she passed the blame and said to him: "You should go to Lao Wang, after all, he is in charge of the third group."
"Why don't you come to me if you need anything?" Officer Wang had just finished the meeting and was unaware of the conversation between several people.
Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "It's not about the ghost fire boy on West Street, their patrol team..."
"Will-o'-the-wisp boy?" Before Lu Weiwei could finish her words, Officer Wang was stunned for a few seconds and then immediately said: "Oh, I know about this. I heard he is quite arrogant. He especially likes to disturb people in the middle of the night and mess with the engine.
The roaring sound.”
"It turns out that Senior Brother Wang also knows." Gu Chen said with a smile.
Officer Wang threw his notebook on the table, picked up his thermos cup and drank wolfberry tea. After being intoxicated with himself, he said: "Just now, when Director Zhao called the heads of each department to a meeting, he also specially
Mentioned this."
"I think that as a brother department, we still need some support." After thinking about it, Officer Wang suddenly snapped his fingers and said: "In this way, Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, I, Old Wang, agree to your matter."
"Starting tonight, I will take Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to join your night patrol. I will definitely help you catch these will-o'-the-wisp boys."
"Really, Senior Brother Wang?" When Huang Zunlong heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't help but hold Officer Wang's hands and said, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Wang. Thank you so much."
"Don't thank me, just thank Bureau Zhao." After hesitating, Officer Wang added, "But then again, you guys can't even deal with a few will-o'-the-wisp boys, you're so useless."
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong looked at each other with aggrieved expressions on their faces.
Huang Zunlong cried bitterly: "Senior Brother Wang, you don't know this. These will-o'-the-wisp boys are very professional, and their escape methods are also extremely tricky."
"And they know how to hunt and are very particular about their retreat route, because there are many old buildings and alleys on West Street, so this is their cover."
"There are many cameras in West Street and alleys, so it is difficult to capture them. We have also tracked them many times in the surveillance, but in the end they all ended in vain. These people are really powerful."
"You're awesome, don't talk about those useless things." Officer Wang didn't like Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong exaggerating in front of him.
When it comes to dealing with the will-o'-the-wisp boy, it's not like Police Officer Wang didn't take part in it at the beginning. It was a sure thing to catch him every time. How could it be as exaggerated as what Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong said?
However, since he agreed, there was no way to shirk it, so Officer Wang added: "Let's do this, wait until we finish the afternoon work today, and then contact you in the evening."
"Can."
"As long as you say this, it will be enough."
Upon hearing that Officer Wang finally agreed, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong's faces lit up with joy.
After the two joked for a while in the office, they left intuitively.
Lu Weiwei was a little angry and asked Officer Wang: "Old Wang, wouldn't it be good to get some more peaceful sleep? Groups 1 and 2 are not decorations, so why should they take on such a thankless job?"
"What do you know?" Officer Wang also frowned. After seeing that Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong had gone away, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is actually Director Zhao's intention. It was decided during the meeting. I
I'm just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, so that they feel they are my gift."
"Haha." Lu Weiwei looked at him helplessly, then turned away and never spoke to him again.
…
…
1am.
The police car with the license plate number ending in AE86 was parked at the entrance of an alley.
Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were sitting in the police car, waiting quietly.
According to the reports from the patrol team, the will-o'-the-wisp teenagers mostly like to race cars late at night, especially after the early hours of the morning.
When all the residents of West Street fell asleep, they started the roaring engine and drove wildly and screamed in the middle of the road.
Even the pet dogs of many residents feel like monsters are coming.
Wherever the will-o'-the-wisp boy went, chickens and dogs were restless.
Officer Wang was sitting in the back seat listening to the late-night radio broadcast. The female anchor's gentle voice nearly lulled him to sleep.
Perhaps because his arm slipped, Officer Wang fell down on his seat with a thud.
He immediately sat up straight, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Gu...Gu Chen, what time is it now?"
"It's five minutes past 1 o'clock in the morning." Gu Chen said.
"Is there anything going on?" Officer Wang asked Gu Chen, squinting his eyes and yawning.
"No." Gu Chen shook his head and instantly moved the chair back so that he could lean on it.
Lu Weiwei also complained: "It's already 1 o'clock in the morning, why is there no movement at all? Are we guarding the wrong place?"
Gu Chen shook his head: "No, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong said that these will-o'-the-wisp boys appear at irregular times, sometimes one, three, five, seven, sometimes two, four, six, sometimes for several days in a row."
"Anyway, if these people don't show up today, they may show up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because once you get addicted to seeking excitement, it's difficult to quit."
"Yes." Officer Wang stretched, then clapped his mouth and laughed, "They are all ordinary young people. If they show up late at night, the huge roar of this motorcycle can be heard in several streets."
"And Director Zhao also said at the meeting that this street is often the only way for them to escape."
"Because if they want to avoid surveillance, they have to pass through this street, then flee into our alley, then go around in a few circles in these old buildings, and they will soon disappear without a trace."
"So we guard the passage here to cut off their escape route. It would be better if they don't come, but if they do come, we will catch them."
"Haha." Seeing Officer Wang's eloquent words, Lu Weiwei also felt speechless and could only respond with "haha" twice.
But at this moment, Gu Chen pricked up his ears and said, "Did you just...hear anything?"
"What's the noise?" Officer Wang frowned, and after listening quietly for a few seconds, he said, "Is there any? Why didn't I hear it? Is it the sound of the engine of the Ghost Fire Boy?"
"But why didn't I hear it?" Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, feeling that there seemed to be no movement at night.
But at this moment, a faint woman's cry for help came from the alley behind everyone.
The three of them were stunned and immediately looked behind them at the same time.
"In the back." After Gu Chen said that, he immediately got out of the car and ran towards the back of the alley at a very fast speed.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang did not dare to carry it. After organizing the police equipment, they immediately followed Gu Chen's footsteps and ran together in the direction where the cry for help came from.
"Tap! Tap..."
At this moment, the sound of three people running quickly could be heard throughout the alley.
When Gu Chen came to the first alley intersection, he found a woman rolling and crawling on the left side of the road, shrunk and shrunk in a corner.
And through the lights of the alley, a man with long flowing hair was standing in front of her carrying a sack.
